Kobe ZERO Free Throw attempts on 5 of 14 shooting, why not drive to the basket instead of taking bad shots?

Question

Kobe ZERO Free Throw attempts on 5 of 14 shooting, why not drive to the basket instead of taking bad shots?

Answer 1

It's called zone defense and because your an idiot!

Answer 2

Because everyone on this team had a role.  Apparetnyl Kobe's role is to stick to the wing to draw out the defense, so his teammates have room to drive the ball.

The thing Kobe haters tend to be so blind about is that...this is a team sport ok?  Dont you think everyone on the team would love to drive?  Kobe's job is simply to free up the defense.  

Yes, his three point shooting was not the best in this game, but he'll get better.  Keep in mind the three point line are still closer and the physchological factor mite be getting to him.

And btw, no one will foul a wing player.

Answer 3

he's scared his little pinky might get hurt =(

Answer 4

How little do you know of basketball? This is TEAM USA, not KOBE USA. If Kobe was to do everything, he would be on the Cavs. LOL.

Think Happy Thoughts!

Answer 5

I have no idea.  No one is driving.  We have Kobe, LeBron, Chris, and Wade who drive all the time in the NBA.  Kobe should drive more.  The whole team should.  If we can get Pau and Marc in foul trouble it's over.
